the best return people have found is either a maxijet 1200 or a rio hyperflo 6. rio has more GPH with less wattage.

most people ditched the two grate looking partitions in chambers 1&2 and the bioballs. take the stock filter and cut the pad off it and ditch it. replace with cheapo filter pad zip-tied on. as far as i have seen the only mod needed to get the skimmer in was to cut the trim a little bit in chamber two so the collection cup will clear.

HTH.
